P0711

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor, Defective (P0711)
Shorting To Ground (P0712)
Open Circuit/Shorting To B+ (P0713).





Fault Symptoms
CHECK GEARBOX warning lamp is on.

Conditions
P0711:During the first 15 minutes of driving, the transmission fluid temperature rises or falls by less than 5°C.

P0712:Shorting to ground for 5 minutes.

P0713:Open circuit or shorting to B+ for 15 minutes.

Diagnostic Help
The diagnostics instrument can be used to obtain a reading of the transmission fluid temperature.

If the transmission fluid temperature sensor is in perfect working order the diagnostics instrument should show the current fluid temperature.

Neither position P nor N should be selected during the test. The timer for the diagnostic trouble codes will then be reset to zero.

When DTC P0711 is generated, DTC P0218 will also be generated. Do not take any measures for P0218.

Check The Wiring
Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short circuits in the various leads. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic instrument while carrying out this check.
